In this session, attendees will be immersed in a 1:1 classroom experience where project based learning is the focus through 1:1 learning/teaching best practice. Attendees will collaboratively create a Virtual Civil Rights Museum using a wiki platform while in 4 different classrooms- illustrating the power of 1:1 computing and its ability to bring down the barriers of time and space. After completing the project, attendees will peer review the innovative museum artifacts. Finally, participants will reflect upon the 1:1 immersion experience and through formal and informal discussion, provide insight into 1:1 learning/teaching best practice. Institute attendees will leave this session with access to a model 1:1 classroom lesson plan based upon the NC 11th grade Standard Course of Study, a guide for 1:1 learning/teaching best practice as developed collaboratively by attendees, and access to the Virtual Civil Rights Museum for further reflection, professional development, and classroom use.
